to I want people
to feel good and vibe to my music while still hearing something real says Henny B when asked about her message to fans in her music.In the Q&A below Henny B speaks on her hip-hop journey and her music with AGirlandHerHipHop.com.

AGHHH: Introduce yourself to our readers.

HB: HennyB also know as Henny
F and many other alias'. Born in Brooklyn, raised in Chicago by
Dominican and Puerto Rican parents with a Hip Hop and city life
influence. I am an artist.

AGHHH: Hailing from Chicago, who are your influences from the city?

HB: Throughout
my career I've had several influences. Before I even rapped, Shawna,
Twista, Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, etc. inspired me a lot because it
showed me people in my city making a mark in the Hip Hop community.
When I started recording my raps, my associates were my influences. Vic
Spencer, Angel Davanport, Brian Fresco, and a few others. Over the
past few years my taste in music has changed and I have evolved into a
different brain, King L, Queen Key, CassoBandz, Katie Got Bandz, Big
Body Fiji, Lucki, John Walt and Pivot...there are just too many good
artists in Chicago.

AGHHH: One word to describe your flow.

HB: Velvety.

AGHHH: How many EP's do you have under your belt so far?

HB: One
EP so far called "Breathe Again" produced entirely by King Mikey of
Virginia. I recorded this EP alone in my closet on my laptop. It's my
baby.

AGHHH: I just heard the track "Spitta Taught Me," describe the inspiration behind the track?

HB: The
title is a subliminal. It also refers to always being called the
"female Curren$y". I get compared lyrically to him and Roc Marciano a
lot. The beat is a Curren$y loop. Something that day triggered me to
kill that beat so after my pills kicked in I went to the studio and
literally cried my verses out. I was sad that day.

AGHHH: Do you have a new EP in the works?

HB: Yes.
I just decided the title is going to be "wasted fuckin summer". King
Mikey is now known as Rage Aurelius and he has already produced two
tracks on it. I am excited for this project because I feel that it's
the first time I am not filtering myself as far as lyrics, content, and
imagery. I have finally lost that fear of judgement and am making this
project with all of my soul and no apologies. I'm saying what I want.

AGHHH: At what moment did you know that rapping was something you wanted others to know you did?

HB: I
always wrote poetry since I was a kid. In school, they make you read
that shit aloud. People loved my voice. I could articulate but still
sound like myself. My voice always had a velvety tone to it. I always
read chapters aloud in class. I found out I could sing in church. I
participated in church choirs and in my high school choir. I didn't
record for the first time until I was nineteen years old. Lord knows
where that track is.

AGHHH: Who are some of your producers?

HB: Currently Rage Aurelius from Virginia, Na$im Williams of Chicago, and Jonathan Cloud from the East Coast.

AGHHH: What's the process for making a track?

HB: It
isn't always the same for me. If the mood is right, I can just go to
the studio and make a song on the spot especially if the beat is crazy.
When I'm working alone I like to stimulate my mind somehow, get on the
same wave as the beat and just write. I like to have my material ready
so that when I go in that studio I don't waste time. I'm not paying my
hard earned money to smoke the engineer out. I write everywhere and I
prepare, then I hit the studio very organized and professional and
work. I play at home.

AGHHH: What message do you want listeners to get from listening to your music?

HB: I
just want to release my energy to my listeners, I want them to relate
to me. I've been through hell and so has everyone else, I want people
to feel good and vibe to my music while still hearing something real.

AGHHH: Anything else to add?

HB: "wasted fuckin summer" is the next project coming from me. Be looking out and thank you!
